Event Design - The Lavish Aisle

Let A Lavish Aisle Set The Stage For Your Wedding Ceremony

Showcase your personal style and offer a hint of what’s to come by incorporating the walk towards the altar into your décor plans. A lavish aisle is a chic and elegant introduction to your special occasion, providing guests with tantalizing hints of the style of your event.

Go for the flow of trailing hydrangea, sweet smelling orchids and delicate lilies of the valley.  Intersperse your bouquets with baby’s breath and feathery greens. Matching nosegays attached to the ends of the rows create a unified look.  Make sure your friends and family have a clear view of that first kiss!  Use clear glass pillars for an elegant feel, wire platforms for an unexpectedly modern twist. Stagger the placement of the stands so your walk of fame won’t be blocked.

Attention to Details

Rose petals spread down the aisle are a sweet, charming, traditional sight.  Choose whether to carpet the walkway with densely packed petals or go for a more minimal approach. Pattern petals to form your initials, create fleur-de-lis, hearts or floral designs … your imagination is your only limit!  Add some bling and excitement when you mix in crystals and petite, glittery gems.  Candle tapers or tea lights add to the allure with scents to match your theme.

Your entrance should be as enchanting as Cinderella’s!  The start of your happily-ever-after begins at the edge of your aisle.
